Arkenstone is now approximately the size of Brandywine, based on the activity. Holy shit. Just as a side note, that Brandy spike. As these are logins, you can get an estimate of the size (that's what these charts are); observing the yearly chart, one can see that from August when the transfers opened Brandywine has steadily increased. In that same time the other remaining servers have steadily increased, and effects of the refugees arriving are visible. There's an abrupt upturn toward the end of the chart for Arkenstone and Crickhollow. Arkenstone was the recommmened server on the launcher for some time, and many of the refugees have moved there; it is now getting the same amount of player logins as Brandywine. That is massive in comparison. Landroval is behind in third, followed by Gladden and Crickhollow. The new apparent ranking (this time I have included Imladris) :
Unfortunately for me, a vast portion of the Oceanic players have moved to Arkenstone. They are mostly from Elendilmir and Nimrodel. On Elendilmir in particular, the Ocaenic community collaborated and decided to move collectively to Ark: that's partially responsible for the jump, evidently. The second-largest server is the one I'd see the most people on at logical times, but as a kin we are not necessarily looking for the largest. For performance reasons, but that will not be as much of an issue with the new hardware; also gameplay reasons. Here is an account of the current situation on Arkenstone:
Ark has acquired a lot of visible growth and new blood; it is now getting crowded in certain areas. it must be very crowded in Gondor and Rohan. There's lots of good discussion on that second thread re: the sever environments, as well. Apparently, Crickhollow is still somewhat hostile, and Landroval is friendlier. Arkenstone is described a couple of times as 'warm and welcoming'. Gladden, apparently, remains aggressive with in-fighting. The majority of Imladris' kinships, according to this thread, are going to either Landroval (practically all the RP kins e.g Children of Arda) or Crickhollow. According to this post,
Our top choices still appear to be Arkenstone or Landroval. SIDE NOTE they are working on housing again and considering allowing multiple houses per account

Edit: I'm in the neighbourhood (took like 5 minutes to remember where your houses were) and your upkeeps appear to be paid up fine. Mine was locked out when I checked it last week, and so was the kinhouse. Edit Edit: the Gondorian furniture's flush with the wall now. Edit Edit Edit: Pelargir's full of refugees and exhausted warriors and at least half of them are annoyed at Aragorn, particuarly the Rangers. They have to work triple time getting the ships ready and full of people and supplies before they sail to MT and it's amusing. They're carrying cargo back and forth and mumbling as you walk past. Meanwhile Aragorn's not even in Pelargir ʘ‿ʘ Edit Edit Edit Edit: THAT'S A BIG THORONGIL/ARAGORN STATUE Edit Edit Edit Edit Edit:

Oh hey thanks for checking on our houses! Seems weird that any of mine would still be fine -I haven't logged on in ages. I should probably check on that. Anyway, does that mean that transferring begins on the 16th and lasts until Q1 2016? I can probably get on to discuss things any night this coming week (most likely some time after midnight, my time). We can discuss in this thread or we can discuss in chat or anywhere - I don't really give a damn. As I've stated before, I think Crickhollow sounds the most appealing, personally. Considering how rarely I interact with other players, I don't really mind a bit of hostility. Also, low population is pretty important to me, and if Crickhollow is getting a poor reputation it may not bump up. Thanks for keeping us posted, by the way. It would suck to be possibly split up. I may not be playing at all lately, but that's because my computer and internet just can't handle it without setting the graphics all the way down. And I'd honestly rather just wait for a new setup than lower the prettiness. The game's too beautiful to do that to myself. |

Yeah thanks for keeping us posted, IBeat. Just realized I didn't say that, and I apologize. and thanks for checking on the houses too. I thought I payed them good enough so they'd stay unlocked for a while last I was on, but I guess it wasn't for as far ahead as I remember. I said in chat, but my computer and internet has been too shitty for the game too. I will be getting new internet before long, but can't say about the computer... sometime next year though, I'm sure. and I still vote on Crickhollow too, just so that's out there and in case it was missed in chat. |

LotRO is designed to run on dial-up; anecdotally, when my internet (connecting from half the world away from the servers) is being shaped to 256kpbs my latency/loss goes from 250~/0.0% to ~400/3.2% and there is no discernable difference in performance. Rest assured, the fault is entirely on your machines. Additionally, the new hardware will likely improve performance across the board. |

As neither of you evidently care about the shifting populations re: server move, I will be deliberating upon and making the decision myself. Edit: Interesting developments: [X]
And the stats: As all the closing servers have all been available for transfer for over a month, and the free transfer windows off of surviving servers have begun, this is an indicator of relatively stable size. It will stabilize more as people shift off of their respective servers onto others, but aside from Brandy and perhaps Crickhollow it will not change much. The now smallest server, Gladden, is 23 times the size of Imladris. It is 10 times the size of pre-transfer Imladris. Most of Imladris' people have moved to Landroval and Crickhollow.
